"So, when and where is #CODECABIN26?" I hear you all ask! Keep your 👀 peeled for announcements! ⭐⭐🍳🐎🚫👂

Just playing around vibe coding atm, but would there be any appetite for an UMB.FYI dashboard folks could use as their browser default page featuring key Umbraco info?

The 100th issue of UMB.FYI is coming next month! 🎉

I’ve always avoided tracking clicks, so I don’t know what kind of impact it’s had — but maybe you do?

If you saw a boost after being featured, I’d love to hear about it. Tag me or use #UmbfyiEffect to share. 💙
